I loved everything about this book. The characters, their relationships, their struggles, their hopes, and their dreams. I was rooting for Susan and Malcolm through the whole novel, both together and as their own separate entities. It’s a beautifully written story with great pacing and character development, and I cannot wait to recommend it to my students.

This book really reflects the proverb of whatever is meant to be will be and the love of Susan and Malclom really signifies just that. Things happen for a reason and if a couple is meant to be together, they will find a way despite what their families might think and even if they do not make sense on paper as the "perfect couple." What if Jenny Han and the Director of Serendipity decided to collaborate on a novel? The Beauty of the Moment is the direct spawn of the answer to that question.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. We will definitely consider this title for our YFiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars!
